خَفِّضْ عَلَيْكَ وَلا تَجْزَعْ لِنَائِبَةٍ

فَالدَّهْرُ يَعْتَرُّ بِالإِنْسَانِ أَحْيَانَا

Lower your wing over the grief that arises

For time brings mankind low now and then

فَكُلُّ نَاءٍ قَرِيبٌ إِنْ صَبَرْتَ لَهُ

وَكُلُّ صَعْبٍ إِذَا قَاوَمْتَهُ هَانَا

With patience every stream will soon run dry

Stand firm and every hardship will fade away
